I’m not much of a baker, actually I’ve never baked anything before in my life. But on a recent trip to Sobeys I picked up too many bananas and they began to go bad. So not being wasteful, I decided to try and bake some banana bread.

In case you do not believe me, here is photographic evidence:

As this was a recipe I made it on the fly with some inspiration from the internet. The measurements indicated may not be accurate, especially for the choclate chips.

Ingredients:

1 Cup All Purpose Flower

1 Cup Ground Oats

¼ Cup Ground Almonds

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

¼ Teaspoon Salt

½ cup butter

¾ cup of brown sugar

2 eggs

chocolate chips (mood dependent)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or vegetable spray.

Mix the flour, almonds, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl

In a separate bowl mix the butter (at room temperature) with the brown sugar

Beat two eggs and add them to step 4. Mix together.

In a separate bowl mash 4-5 ripe bananas (⅔ cups in total)

Add chocolate chips to step 6 in proportion to your current stress level.

Add step 6 to step 4 and mix together well.

Once mixed, add step 8 to step 3. Don’t overmix.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan.

Place the pan in a preheated oven for 60-65 minutes. A fork inserted into the bread should come out clean, indicating it has cooked well.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, before turning over the pan.
